Hey Christine. Same here i am on the path to change my career; one reason is, it makes me really think and makes me keep learning; based on my experience, if the learning process stops stagnation can play a great part, and in software development stagnation is impossible and the fact that you can apply solution through code to gain instant feedback adds to the excitement. I know a very tiny basics of github and thats pretty much a great way to share and collaborate your codes with others, a great record keeping of tour coding progress and a backup so that if 3 versions down the line, if you mess up the logics or your code, you can go back and start on the last known part of your code. You can, for example, copy a piece of the project currently in progress, change/enhance it, and submit it back (aka commit). There are tons of videos that myself wanna go over it. I am Currently working on JavaScript and have learnt about Ruby and Rails.
